Happiness is relative. Divorce isn't necessarily an equation for "unhappiness." Some people get divorced and discover a new way of being that makes them happier than ever. You don't have to be married forever to "one true love" to be "happy."

I haven't followed Caroline as long as some of you but I definitely think from what I have seen is that that Caroline needs this time to be Caroline the woman and Caroline the mother and not Caroline the woman who is with so and so.

People who go from realtionship to relationship never get a chance to discover what truly makes them happy because they are ALWAYS in a relationship. Always adapting as part of a couple. From what I understand she went from Phillipe, Roberto, Stefano, Vincent and then Ernst. I might have missed some inbetween but she hasn't taken a decent amount of time to be just Caroline. Personally, I think her great love was Stefano. Not that it was perfect as I am sure they had problems (as all married couples do) but she looked genuinely happy with him.

I don't know what is going on with Caroline and Ernst but I do know that everything in life has a purpose and its up to us to learn from it. If she was not meant to spend a life time with Ernst and grow old together, I hope she has learned from this relationship and grows from it. If nothing else, it provided her with her beautiful daughter Alexandra. Whether it is with someone else or by herself. Someone how I can't imagine Caroline by herself for too long.

That's beautifully said, Zonk. I do hope Caroline finds the strength that is inside her to learn to love herself as a whole person even without a man. I think this has been a huge problem in her life. She hasn't been able to be alone. You may be right about this experience with Ernst having a purpose and lesson for her, and perhaps she must learn this very thing. Caroline must learn to love Caroline for who Caroline is without all the trappings.

Just read an article about Caroline being pregnant with her fifth child in Ekstra Bladet. Well, it is not the most reliable news paper in the world, so have anyone else seen or heard anything to that fact???

Pregnant with her 5th child, aged 53 and and separated from her husband ? This is most likely a hoax ?

I...don't think so. It has to be a joke. There were rumors some years ago about her being pregnant with her 5th child, when she still was with EA, but obviously was nothing. I frankly don't think that she might be pregnant. Is highly improbable.

I wonder what Ernst & Caroline will decide to do about the upcoming nuptials for Crown Princess Victoria - do people think either of them will go, & if Caroline were to go,in what capacity -as Serene Highness of Hanover or as first lady of Monaco?

Caroline will come alone as Monaco's first Lady wearing the Monaco's jewelry she wore for the King's 50th birthday. At Felipe and Letitzia wedding E.A. was not at the church office because he was drunk !

Well technically he was hung over. Then he went to luncheon afterwards and got drunk there too. I think Caroline will go - she still has an technically official role in Monaco and if Albert's going, then why shouldn't she? I'm a little iffy about whether Ernst will attend. Perhaps he will but I doubt they'll attend together. I can imagine the ruckus it would cause if both of them do attend however. Seeing as it would be the first time they've been seen together in nearly a year. Can't you just the headlines now?

I am doubtful..... I don't know why Caroline should go. I can see Albert going. Of course Albert will go. Why Caroline? As "first lady of Monaco"? Why? Albert is enough to represent Monaco at Sweden's royal wedding. What does Sweden care for Monaco's "first lady"?

But about her status, I am also curious. Will she keep the title of Princess of Hanover? Will she lose the HRH and be HSH The Princess Caroline of Hanover and Monaco? Will she drop the Hanover name altogether? Chantal kept it, so I don't know. Chantal also kept the HRH, or no?

well you know what they say what comes around............ caroline stole her best friend man know the same man cheatin on her with another best friend! And how long beforethey tell the media they aren't togther>>

I agree with you CasiraghiTrio. P. Caroline isn't a figure of state. " First Lady " isn't an official charge. The real, and only, statesman of Monaco, like it or not is P. Albert and if Monaco is invited to the royal wedding, Sweden will expect him, and only him to represent the country. Besides, the north european monarchies are quite prudish and i don't think they aprove P. Caroline's decisions about her marital life. Finaly, i don´t think P. Caroline wants to put herself in a position that can be embarrassing to her. Well, we'll have to wait and see!
